I believe their the same design (mechanically) but the V6 might have a slightly bigger rotor and caliper. If you want better performance Ive heard of members using the Acura Legend calipers witch uses dual pistons

True, correct me if im wrong though.
But because the Legend calipers are a rear mount style (cb7 calipers are on the front of rotor)
with the dual pistons, the larger of the 2 would be on the bottom which doesnt allow full contact of the top piston.

Unless you can mount them on the opposite side, of a CB. Hopefully that made sense....

so i have 93 accord LX ok so pretty much all i need for the rear drum is a prelude hub and crv drum to do a 5 lug drum conversion right.....so would that set up of the front work too cuz i see you have 6 gen accord so you jus wondering if the front set up will work

I think that's what people do (flip from left to right)

I really don't think all that trouble is worth it though

My friend had a 2002 Altima 3.5 SE which weighs like 300-400lbs more than a CB... all he did was upgrade the rotors + pads, and that thing stopped on a dime from like 120MPH back to back to back

Prelude caliper/rotors are the same size up front... u get Brembo blanks + nice pads... u don't need much... and u dont have to worry about calipers.

you can mount the legend caliper with the bleeder valve down and how its supposed to mount (but on our cars), and when it comes time to bleed it, all you need to do is remove the lower bolt holding the stuff in, loosen the top bolt, swing it up, stick a spare rotor or something solid in there to act as a rotor, and bleed normally.

mounting bleeder up will make it convenient, but it won't take advantage of the different sized pistons, IIRC.

ok, back from the dead. I'm going to the junk yard tomorrow. So what 6th gen accord should I be looking for it to be direct bolt on in the front? Is there a specific year (2001?), Obviously 5 lug spindle, v6? Coupe or non coupe?

Does anyone know if I'll have issues with using a front knuckle off an 03 Acura CL? It uses larger 11.8" rotors so I'm thinking in order to use my Legend GS 2 piston calipers, I'll have to use the CL front caliper brackets and pads.

What about the hub offset, will it still match the CB7 offset OK? I'm planning to run 2g 17" 5 spoke 01-03 TL-S wheels initially.

I also feel confident that the rear 5 lug hub from an oddy is a better fit for the rear drum and actually has a deeper seat for the nut to sit in like the cb/ cd does and makes for a better fit. I was getting ready to do 5 lug on my wagon and found this out.

I tried using the Prelude hubs (bc Oddy hubs are hard to find) with CRV drums, but the drum does not sit fully flushed to the hub. (There's about a quarter-inch gap between the hub and the drum.)

Will I need to grind off a bit of the edges from the hubs to properly seat the drums onto the hubs?

Just also wondering if anyone else ran into this because my lugs have less to little thread for the rims to hang on to...
